IBUK to IBIE - what's going on?

I was told the migration process to IBIE was completed. Does TWS or Account Management home shows me where my account is based? Maybe I´m blind but i didn´t see anywhere a reference to IBIE.
 
Nothing has changed for me:
- My account numbers were supposed to change and they haven't
- The PDT rule still applies to both my accounts
- All the e-mails and statements are still from IBUK
 
Has anyone tried to contact IB support this week?
I sent a ticket from Client Portal - no response in 24 hours (yet), I opened chat window a few times in the last hours - no response.

I also did not get a reply on my question yet. Strange. Perhaps IBIE has no support ;-)

You said earlier that your margin requirement at IBIE might (based on projection) be much higher than at IBUK. Is that still the case? Do you know if that applies to US equity or something else?

I don´t know since I already closed the trades. I have new trades instead on which I haven´t received any notification though.
My account has not been migrated yet
 
Interesting they change from Reg T margin to Portfolio Margin.

Is there a way back, or is it 'Portfolio Margin or Cash' only for those accounts in IE?
 
I just found this was happening today from reading the info, I have not had an email about it.

It says you get EUR100K protection if you are moved to Hungry IBCE: https://ibkr.info/article/3587 Part B, Section 4.

So, do you get to choose where you go? EUR100k is much more than EUR20k. I note someone said that only applies to bank accounts in Germany, but the account would be based in Hungry.

Does anyone know if we can keep the UK account? I was hoping that brexit would mean we will soon be able to trade US ETFs without Professional Status.
